Low Grade Astrocytomas


Astrocytomas are the most common of the primary brain tumors. They are "graded" on a scale of I to IV. Grading is based on how quickly the cells are reproducing, as well as their potential to grow into nearby tissue. Grades I and II astrocytomas are the slowest growing of these tumors. They are also called low-grade astrocytomas.
